Having recently announced three special album launch shows and a full UK tour in April, TAX THE HEAT are gearing up for their new album »Change Your Position« to hit stores on March 9th, 2018. With just over a month before the album drops, the band teased fans by releasing the official video for the album's title track last week (see below). Today they have released the second "Medicine Sessions" trailer, in which Jack and Alex discuss the progression from their debut album »Fed To The Lions« to their new album, »Change Your Position«.

If an album is about capturing a band or artist at a certain point, »Change Your Position« might have happened at the perfect time. As a band we toured, found our sound, found our place and took inspiration from a world in utter chaos. With »Change Your Position« we pushed ourselves creatively as hard as we could and it took us further into ourselves than we expected - we hope it's apparent to the listener." - Alex Veale

- 01. Money In The Bank
- 02. Change Your Position
- 03. Playing With Fire

The band will be performing the new album in full at three special album launch shows, one of which is now sold out. Due to overwhelming demand, the band have just announced an extra date at Bristol's Rough Trade venue. These shows will be followed by a full UK tour in April. See below for details.
Alex Veale says, "When we wrote the »Change Your Position« album we followed our nose and let the music manifest itself in the way it did. Now we've started rehearsing for the tour it's become apparent how good this will feel to play the album live and loud in some fantastic intimate venues. We can't wait, join us!"
